How we doing? (2012)

It's around this time when we are on the verge of another year ahead of us that we ask for feedback from you our members about how you believe us to be doing, performing and what we could improve on if anything. We will dutifully ignore most of what you say of course but it's nice to make it look like we care what you think.

Just kidding but seriously tell us what you think, feel, taste and touch and what you feel we are doing well, right, good, perfect etc, oh yeah and mention anything you feel is less than excellent. We won't hold it against you or take any aktion against you for doing so.

I appreciate everything the staff does however I do have a suggestion.

Those of us who take time to take pictures (in game or IRL), draw, write music, etc. - I think we (I know I would anyway) like a bit more feedback from the staff. It's nice getting feedback from the regulars, but when the staff take time out of their "busy schedules" (I'm talking to Mellors ) to comment it means just that bit more. I'm not asking for a lot and if it doesn't happen it won't bother me. Just a suggestion.

I've had another idea. With half the staff being inactive, I think we need one person added on who is fairly active and I think you should dump those who aren't. It will keep the staff fresh and it will make the current staff's jobs easier really.

Don't think it'll make it any easier. It's not hard to begin with, unless you're call Baldy. Turning on a computer is hard for him.

Well I still think it's a good idea. Gives the staff some freshening up, makes your "not hard" job easier - gets rid of the staff who aren't ever on. It's a win all around.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Agreed, It would be nice if there are more mods online to sort some problems or issues.
I also think that the Modshop could use some more moderation, because those bumpers are getting annoying sometimes.
exspecially when i search for a file.

I'm still thinking about other things i like to see for a improvement.

Doing some behind the scenes work on the mod-shop (well, I started something a while ago, I should probably continue).
I think we're fairly well catered for Staff, but there have been occasions where I've had to tell people to wait for a Super Mod to show up before they can be helped (while you're at it you should make Camel an Admin)
I try to avoid posting in picture threads as my inbox fills up with hundreds of 'Great work' emails - the same reason I generally don't post in TDU mod threads. I could manually unsubscribe, but I have to refresh the page again after posting a quick reply before I can do that. There are some exceptions to this, but only if you're really fantastic at what you do.
Maybe Diablo can add a 'Do not subscribe to this thread' tickbox under the Quick Reply box where the other options are for including your signature and closing the thread.
More appearances from Diablo and Baldy (and Mellors if he's promoted) (videos/photos).

My only complaint is, please remove the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" option from the Insert Image option while posting. In addition to that, make the "From URL" bit first before "From Computer." It makes linking images so much faster and easier. Who attaches files anyway these days?

The video is just a random annoyance I thought would be annoying and thus it was implemented annoyingly. I do understand that people access this site from all works of environments so will put the video back to normal and not auto-play. PotW is always welcome back but we need people to enter their images in order to make it worthwhile. Maybe the future switch in look to TurboDuck will make this easier as then we can encompass a variety of games for inclusion.

I'll look into the media insert prompt as honestly I don't like having the server filling up with crap and being used for what is essentially un-needed overhead.

I think if we have a overall competition like Sotw but for racing games, there will be plenty of input.

about us

turboduck is a community that is dedicated to driving and racing games of all types on all platforms. Whether it's ticking off the miles/kilometres while exploring an open world, crashing and exploding everything in an insane balls-to-the-wall arcade racer, or nailing down every apex and trimming off every tenth possible in authentic sim-racing. It's all up for discussion as we enjoy the virtual cars, bikes, and everything else that these games offer. So join us, jump into the discussions, and don't think too much about why a 'duck' is our mascot. ;)
